Preamble:
Have you ever made a promise with friends of the opposite sex that "if you don't get married at the age of xx", you will be together, but at the moment of final separation, there is a faint heartache?
Have you ever been touched by those gossip star CPs who are "more than friends, but not yet lovers", and broke your heart for them, but you can't get a perfect HE?
Then follow me to review the "hard to peace" of those childhood sweethearts in the entertainment industry.
Holding hands all the way, but at the last moment they went their separate ways
In 2005, a youth campus drama "Green Light Forest" was broadcast in Taiwan.
In the play, a pair of childhood sweethearts, a little boy A Cheng (played by Ruan Jingtian) and a little girl An An (played by Zhang Junning), have been inseparable since childhood, and they are like siblings.
Unexpectedly, at the end of the play, the two were separated due to the opposition of their families, which made countless viewers sigh.
In fact, this kind of plot abounds in the entertainment industry.
For example, Zhang Junning and Ruan Jingtian, the two began to know each other from this drama, and they became friends who talked about everything.
Especially when Ruan Jingtian first debuted, Zhang Junning often enlightened and supported him, and the relationship between the two was very close.
Until 2022, Ruan Jingtian jokingly said to Zhang Junning in a live broadcast: "If you are not married when you are 50 years old, then come to my house!"
Zhang Junning didn't take it seriously, and didn't say anything with a smile.
In fact, she knew very well in her heart that Ruan Jingtian was her good brother for many years, and he was the one who knew her best, no matter where he went, he would always stand behind her.
However, the path of life is always unpredictable, and in 2023, Zhang Junning suddenly announced that he was in love, and the object was a director named Ke Wenli.
The circle of friends immediately exploded, and everyone was asking, "What about Peng Yuyan, what about Xu Guanghan, and what about Ruan Jingtian?"
Zhang Junning is very determined, she says that she is always responsible for her own happiness.
In fact, Zhang Junning has always been very eager for a family, and she said that she wanted children when she was 30 years old.
It's just that it's always been hard to find someone who is genuinely good to you.
Now that she has finally waited, she naturally has to hurry.
As for the "50-year covenant", it can only be done.
Ruan Jingtian knew that Zhang Junning had found happiness, and he was happy for her.
People have their own lives, and no one can say for sure about their feelings, and the most important thing for them now is to live their lives well.
He is reliable and deserves better
is different from Zhang Junning and Ruan Jingtian, the 1996 hit "Huanzhu Gege" allowed the audience to witness the relationship between another pair of "corn brothers and sisters" - Su Youpeng and Lin Xinru.
The two work together happily in the play, and they often go out to play in private.
Ruby Lin is always lively and cheerful, and Su Youpeng always has endless jokes to make her happy.
Gradually, everyone saw the ambiguous atmosphere between them.
It is also rumored that the reason why Ruby Lin broke up with Lin Zhiying was because she was too close to Su Youpeng.
In fact, Ruby Lin doesn't care about these gossips, she and Su Youpeng are pure friends.
It's just that Su Youpeng seems to have a deep love for her, and even bluntly said that he likes her in an interview, and said, "If you don't get married by the age of 40, I will marry you."
Ruby Lin didn't respond positively to this confession, she just smiled, thinking that Su Youpeng might be on a whim.
After all, I have too many opportunities to get off the list, and one day I will meet the person who is destined.
However, the road of life is never predictable, in 2016, 40-year-old Ruby Lin chose to enter the palace of marriage with Huo Jianhua, a wealthy businessman who was a childhood sweetheart.
Many people were surprised by this, and even heartbroken - Su Youpeng has been in love with Ruby Lin for so many years, and in the end, Ruby Lin married someone else, which is simply undeserved.
In fact, Ruby Lin has always regarded Su Youpeng as a very good brother.
She also knew how Su Youpeng felt about her, but she didn't want to jokingly agree to this agreement.
She believes that Su Youpeng, such an excellent person, will eventually find the other half who is really suitable for him.
As for Huo Jianhua, they grew up together since childhood and know each other best, and Ruby Lin is very firm about this decision.
Childhood sweethearts, and finally fly separately
When it comes to the "childhood sweethearts" in the entertainment industry, how can you not mention the 2005 hit Taiwanese drama "Mischievous Kiss"! In the play, a pair of pampered and arrogant campus sweethearts and demon kings Gu Xixi (played by Ariel Lin) and the powerless nerd Jiang Naoki (played by Zheng Yuanchang) also let the audience witness their process from incompatibility to mutual understanding.
In fact, this kind of plot has also been staged in the real life of Ariel Lin and Zheng Yuanchang.
After the two became famous with this drama, they were often riddled with scandals.
Zheng Yuanchang even publicly said that he was attracted to Ariel Lin many times, and was regarded by the outside world as having been pursuing her.
Perhaps there is indeed such an element in these speculations, Zheng Yuanchang and Ariel Lin later made a "ten-year covenant" - if they are not married after ten years, they will be together.
However, in the end, Ariel Lin still entered into marriage with the little-known IT tycoon Lin Yuchao.
Zheng Yuanchang did not attend her wedding, but generously sent a huge red envelope as a blessing.
Many people are heartbroken by this, thinking that Ariel Lin is too incomprehensible - can't she see Zheng Yuanchang's affection for her for so many years? There is even speculation that Ariel Lin deliberately kicked in the door and married another man.
But in fact, Zheng Yuanchang and Ariel Lin have always been just good friends.
Ariel Lin also knew that Zheng Yuanchang had different feelings for herself, but she didn't want to carry this feeling.
After meeting Lin Yuchao, she realized that she had found the person she wanted to spend her life with.
So Ariel Lin chose to figure out her feelings and go on firmly.
As for Zheng Yuanchang, maybe he was really disappointed, but in the end he still sent his blessings, hoping that Ariel Lin could live the life he expected.
The relationship between childhood sweethearts is already elusive, and they finally chose to go their separate ways.
I will not break my promise
If the above stories ended in a breakup, then this "agreement" between the two friends may really be fulfilled.
An Juncan and An Yixuan, the two "An Jiajun", obviously believed in their future so much.
In 2002, An Yixuan just debuted, and she regarded An Juncan, who had just entered the industry, as her most powerful helper, and the two hit it off at first sight.
After that, they were inseparable and talked about everything.
An Yixuan often said that without An Juncan, it was like missing a hand.
The relationship between the two is very good.
In 2010, because of a birthday party, An Yixuan missed the boy he liked.
She was sadly drunk, and An Juncan took the initiative to say: "Yixuan, if you are not married by the time you are 35 years old, I will marry you!"
An Yixuan smiled and nodded, of course she believed in An Juncan's promise.
It's just that no one thought that in 2015, An Juncan died of a sudden illness and left this world forever at the age of 32.
An Yixuan was in pain, she lost her best friend.
And that promise has become a knot in her heart forever, because An Juncan will not have a chance to fulfill it again.
Every year on the festival day, An Yixuan will write a long miss on social networking sites, recalling the bits and pieces of their past.
Maybe in this life, she will have a place for him in her heart.
I was there for you, but you turned a blind eye
If the above pairs are childhood sweethearts and have known each other for many years, then Ren Quan and Li Bingbing, two good friends, are college acquaintances, and they have become confidants.
In 1993, Ren Quan and Li Bingbing were both top students of the Shanghai Theater Academy.
Since the two are from the same small town and their personalities are also compatible, they soon got together and became inseparable friends.
Ren Quan remembers that on college weekends, they often rode their bicycles aimlessly through the streets of Shanghai.
Some people thought they were dating.
In fact, they go together to assist in the community's theatrical performances, and they can earn some wages.
Li Bingbing's family situation is very bad, she needs the money to take care of her sick mother and minor sister, so she is always busy running the announcement.
Ren Quan ran with her, taking care of her while instructing her not to work too hard.
Gradually, Ren Quan also developed a different kind of affection for Li Bingbing.
It's just that Li Bingbing works day and night, and she has no time to fall in love at all.
After Li Bingbing became popular, Ren Quan could only accompany her to celebrate silently on her birthday, like a shadow.
This year, Ren Quan also sang a birthday song at Li Bingbing's birthday party.
A reporter took the opportunity to ask him about his relationship with Li Bingbing, and Ren Quan joked with a smile: "We are both divorced." ”
In fact, Ren Quan knew in his heart that Li Bingbing had always regarded him as a confidant and friend, and he had never thought about developing a romantic relationship.
She was too confused and too hard, and now that she has finally found her home, Ren Quan is happy for her.
Epilogue:
Life is like this, and the "agreement" of the alliance cannot resist the impermanence of time and life.
The people who held hands back then ended up going their separate ways.
But wherever you are, I will be behind you, wishing you the best to meet and live the happiest life.
Those crazy and sincere promises of youth may not be fulfilled, but they have become a unique scenery on the road of our life, which is worth remembering and cherishing.
